•From the IOOS Business Plan-“Initial integration efforts on six of seven Core IOOS variables describing ocean and coastal conditions:• Sea Surface Temperature;• Salinity;• Water/Sea level;• Currents;• Ocean color;• Surface Waves; and• Surface WindsDelivery of these variables may use one or more of the following Core DIF Standards”
Station Growth (1999-2008)(nb. 8% growth June-December 2008)
• Oceanographers, meteorologists, IT specialists, programmers • Observations ingest, processing, analysis• Data processing and QC algorithm development for new systems• Observation dissemination and web display• Management of station configuration and metadata

NDBC Letter to RA’s (2005)
•Due to FY05 budget, we are able to add some Salinity, ADCP and Directional Wave sensors to existing buoys.
•What are your priorities?
•What else do you want to tell us?
•Coordinated Response desired.
GCOOS Response (2005):Directional Waves
Note: Compilation of responses received, no regional arbitration/validation.

• SGOF1 (Tyndall AFB Tower)– Source: Steve Morey, FSU

GCOOS Response:ADCP/Salinity
• Florida Keys in general (Muller-Karger (USF), et al)• DRYF1, SANF1, SMKF1, LONF1, MLRF1, FWYF1 need ADCP (Priority
order by M-K)• 42040, 42039, 42036, 42003, CDRF1, 42014, EGKF1, DRYF1, SANF1,
SMKF1, LONF1, MLRF1, FWYF1, KTNF1, SGOF1, BURL1 need Salinity (Priority order by M-K)

GCOOS Response:Other
• Do a good comparison of buoy vs. subsurface ADCPs (Van Waddell)
• Coordinate a Fugro-GEOS pilot project buoy with NDBC (Ralph Rayner)
• Offer to help with Lake Worth Instrumentation (Nova Southeastern U.)
GCOOS and NDBCFuture Plans
• Work with IOOS to develop a more formal process for the RAs to submit requirements for ocean observations on NDBC weather platforms
• Review 2005 GCOOS priorities with GCOOS Board of Directors – possibly resubmit NDBC Director’s 2005 letter
